Triond is my first writing website; I had published 6 articles there and had got 15 cents before I came here. Although I left it, I still thank it for giving me a first stage to start my writing career. The reason why I left Triond is, because most of my articles were Biblical talking; Triond put them on relijournal, but it had very very few page view I didn't like.

To be honest, Triond is a good website. It provides you a free stage to practice and promote your content even to gain more recognition, and gives a chance to anyone who wants to share his ideas; it enables users to easily publish quality content of any type, in any media format. But as for earning revenue or royalties, I don't think it is a good place to go, neither is Pubpages. But people out there are very kind and generous to help you out with your difficulty. I am so surprised that it has a lot of faithful users even though its payment is far too petty. I have been away from it for more than one month, but they are kind enough to have sent me a letter extending their missing me--that was very touching.

So far, I still like its forum so much. To compare with other writing websites, Triond's forum is easy to use and communicate with others unlike other websites that are very small or even hard to find. It seems like Triond's users have nothing to do but are ready to answer your question all the time. I appreciated it very much as a new user. They have solved my practical problem such as how to turn a URL into a title or how to deal with bad comment.

Triond also has many partners, bookmarks and links so that it is the best choice for all beginners to practice and gain recognition. Especially for international writers, it is the best place to go where you are provided a good stage to succeed. But as for making money, like I mentioned above, you shall never expect much. Many writers are complaining about their “pennies” because Triond shares with you 50% of the revenue generated by writers’ contents from several income sources, such as display and contextual advertising that appears on the pages of a writer’s content. It means the more clicks, the more money. So do other websites. Of course, they make no difference from Triond. Every website lets youself promote your contents while they just sit there watching you work hard to share your revenue with them. If there is any website that would like to help us promote our contents and gives us plenty time to work on good quality contents, I believe people will rush there and prefer to share more revenue with them. Therefore we shouldn't have wasted and are still wasting a lot of time on promotion instead of on writing.

I still like Triond, but it is hard for me to go back again. Maybe I will write some articles for them in future because of their kindness.
